The horn is supported upon a pedestal or upright, and in order to iirmly secure the horn to its pedesdal or support means are provided, as will be described, for preventing both longitudinal and lateral dis placement of the horn on its support. These and other features of this invention Will be pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification. y

Figure l is aside elevation of a liquid-holding device embodying this invention, and Fig. 2 a partial section and elevation of the device shown in Fig. l with the cover open.

Referring to the drawings, a represents a receptacle for liquid, Which may be Water, Wine, cologne, die.

form of a curved horn provided at its upper end with a cover I), which may and preferably will be hinged at c to a metal or other band CZ on the Wide upper portion of the horn.

The horn-shaped receptacle a is provided at its lower end with a `fitting or nozzle e, Which may be of metal and isprovided with avalve f, controlling the discharge of the liquid g from the horn-shaped receptacle on. The receptacle a is provided with a support of sufticient height to'elevate the discharge-nozzle of For this purpose I employ a receptaclel The receptacle a may and preferably Will be made of glass andin the the receptacle above the table, sideboard, o1' other surface upon which the device is placed.

The support referred to may and preferably will be made as herein shown and consists of a base 7L and an upright or standard z', having at its upper end an enlargement or iangej, provided with a curved upper surface to con* form to the curved form of the bottom of the receptacle, the said upright being also provided With a socket 7c, into which is extended a projection m on the bottom or under side of the receptacle a, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The projection m serves to lock the receptacle to the support or stand against accidental disengagement laterally, and to prevent disengagement of the projection m from its socket by a tilting longitudinal movement of the receptacle I have provided means for this purpose.

In the present instance the standard has secured to its opposite sides two straps or .pieces n o, which may be of metal or other suitable material and which, as herein represented, are passed up over the upper surface of the substantially central portion of the receptacle and joined together in any suitable manner, and, as herein represented, a tongue on one piece enters a slot in the other; but I do not desire to limit my invention to the particular forni of means herein shown for encircling the receptacle transversely and securing the saine on its standard or support against tilting longitudinal displacement.

The device or apparatus herein shown constitutes a neat and attractivemeans for holding liquids of all kind and is particularly serviceable for holding Water, Wine, cologne, dac.
